UPDATING and REPLACING -- Entropic Communications Reports First Quarter Results

Conference Call to be Webcast Today At 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time


SAN DIEGO, April 28, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- In a release issued earlier today by Entropic Communications, Inc.(Nasdaq:ENTR), under the same headline, note that the financial tables were not included. The updated release follows:

Entropic Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENTR), a leading provider of silicon solutions to enable connected home entertainment, today reported its first quarter results for the period ended March 31, 2008. Entropic reported first quarter net revenues of $42.0 million, an increase of 4.5% compared with $40.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and 110% higher than in the first quarter of 2007. The revenues in the first quarter of 2008 included revenues related to the acquisition of RF Magic, compared with the first quarter of 2007 which was prior to the acquisition.

In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company's first quarter net loss was $3.9 million, or ($0.06) per share (basic and diluted) on 66.7 million weighted average shares outstanding. This compares with GAAP net loss of $0.5 million, or ($0.02) per share (basic and diluted) on 27.5 million weighted average shares outstanding, in the fourth quarter of 2007. Non-GAAP net income in the first quarter was $3.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share on 73.6 million shares outstanding, compared to net income of $3.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share on 68.1 million average shares outstanding, in the fourth quarter of 2007. The increase in GAAP and non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding between the two periods is attributable to the company's initial public offering which occurred late in the fourth quarter of 2007.

"Our home networking business continues to strengthen and we saw further diversification within the DBS Outdoor Unit business as our Channel Stacking Switch products continued to ramp," noted Patrick Henry, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Entropic Communications. "We reported our sixteenth consecutive quarter of revenue growth and our third consecutive quarter of non-GAAP net income. We are off to a fabulous start to the year and see increasing momentum in our served markets."

 periods with non-GAAP net income. These shares exclude the dilutive
 effects of the unrecognized share based compensation. For the periods
 shown with a net loss, no shares were included for the diluted
 earnings per share calculation, as including such shares would be
 antidilutive.

 assumed conversion of redeemable convertible preferred stock into 
 common stock as of the later of their issuance or the beginning of 
 their respective periods for the periods presented.
